Crystals are remarkably peaceful. They carry a very high vibration, and instill clarity of mind and a deep sense of inner peace. Selenite will assist you in opening your crown chakra .

Another wonderful property of Selenite is that it has the power to cleanse and clear other crystals and negative energies. You will never need to cleanse or recharge your Selenite crystal, as you need to do with many metaphysical stones.

Selenite is one of the more powerful healing stones for the new age and spiritual work. It is excellent for meditation, and ensures a peaceful environment when stones are placed around the home. .

Upper Left is an example of a piece of yellow Selenite accented with a WHITE led light on a white marble base. What a color complement to your space. Can be but on any kind of base, including black. $120

Before

After..natural white

After..red

First time ever. #141For a client, took his large ametyhst geode and added two red leds. It is remote controlled thru all light intensity levels so that it works as a low level nightlight, and an eye-catcher during the daytime. The art is in positioning the leds, while hiding them and the wiring.....and drilling thru 3" of solid crystal. Can be done with many different colors, but red was selected an then changed to white which accents the colors of amethyst without changing them.

A stunning black granite base with an array of clear quartz crystals. Each of the many subsets has a different story to tell. Comes with a remote control dimmer to reduce in a low light setting or during the day. An original piece. $135

An impressive large chunk of rose quartz. This custom made grey streaked thick marble base makes a statement, both bold and mellow. $60

"Amethyst is an extremely powerful and protective stone with a high spiritual vibration. Amethyst is extremely beneficial to the mind, calming or stimulating as appropriate. When you meditate, it turns thoughts away from the mundane into tranquiliity and deeper understanding. Mentally, it helps you feel less scattered, more focused and in control of your faculties. It enhances the assimilation of new ideas and connects cause with effect"

​

Alabaster is the name of the game in providing subtle and even lighting to these crystal balls.

I carved out a round recess in a large base and from the bottom inserted a set of leds. The overall effect is to soften the harshness of the clear crystal balls. $95

Look for more use of Alabaster as the appropriate base to exhibit various kinds of crystals. "It's all about the base"

Caliper Display

​

Right: This 10" adjustable caliper idsplay is perfect to highlight this Icelandic Spar Crystal. It's a fine blend of round and angular, brass and crystal. This was used by the old Norse explorers to fix their position from the sun through the clouds using polarized light. Or insert your own piece. Lighted from underneath. On display at the St Pete Florida CraftArt Center $95

​MERKABA CRYSTALS - This is a star Tetrahedron consisting of two interpenetrating three-sided pyramids that form a three-dimentional Star Of David.

In the eighteenth dynasty of ancient Egypt, it meant MER (rotating fields of light), KA (spirit), and BA (soul).MerKaBa activates the protective love of the Universe and awakens, heals, and transforms on the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional levels.

Contrasting Patterns #236

Two pieces of Selenite are magically lit with blue and white LED's artfully hidden in the brass supports. Touching the front supports or the rear brass channel actuates the light thru three levels so it shows off during the day, but turns down low for a nightlight.

A good study in contrasting patterns and textures. Very Organic.

​

Two Crystals #239

A large slice of Amethyst is suspended in three driftwood arms. For balance and as a complement is a Quartz crystal. The selection of EL technology highlights the crystalline structure of both without the garishness LED technology.

Again, the corona effect from the artful placing of the EL panel is unexpected. $450

Note: Electro Luminescense is an extremely new technology consisting of a phosphorus film excited to glow by electricity. As in LED, it consumes almost no electricty, produces no heat, is flexible, but offers a more gentle light in a broader range of colors than LEDs. See the Green Salisbury Dragon elsewhere on these pages.

Desert Sunrise

In a shift from the nautical, I have created this simple piece taking one back to the Nevada desert where I found this sandstone slice. It is a natural background for a rose quartz crystal lit from underneath by white leds.

Eucalyptus and Two Crystals

The 30" high and 2" thick slab of Eucalyptus is accented on one side by blue LEDs and on the other by warm white LEDs meant to bring out the vertical grain of the Selenite Cyrstals.

Desert Abstract

Nevada Sandstone is a perfect contrast to the Alabaster pyramid and Selenite ball, both lit from the interior by white leds. The desert rock in the middle is flecked with Quartz crystals. Light levels are selected by touching the Fools Gold piece atop the rock. Aha!

All electronics and wiring are in the hollowed out core of the sandstone which has been finished with two coats of matte sealer to highlight the grain. A perfect desk item for the seeker, or dreamer!

Crossed Oars #189

A client had a pair of oars that came from their grandfather's boat building company, and they wanted them showcased. I selected suitable leds and controlled light levels by touching the metal oarlocks.The clean installation was achieved by installing an outlet and wiring chase behind the large part of the oar to a lower wall electrical outlet. Because no one offered suitable angled mounting brackets I had to fabricate very small rustic mounts to achieve the clean look. I was fortunate to find wall studs for a secure installation. She is delighted.

Upper right is a variation by turning the bamboo vertical for an original light. An high intensity LED lamp is put inside to make this a reading light, rather than an accent piece.

Lighting is NOT LED because it would not apply to this design. $300 each​​

Battery Operated Lights

Client designed this reading lamp for a table in the center of the room that is her favorite place to read. She selected the driftwood style with a arm containing very bright leds for reading. A small li-ion rechargeable battery pack will give three evenings of reading on a charge. I added Opalite crystals that are the color of the room

Client wanted this Wyland Acrylic Sculpture to be displayed on their coffee table. Selected the driftwood base to be 1.25 " thick to accomodate the 1" thick rechargeable battery. Good for about a hundred hours. The challenge is to select leds with minimal power to make the battery last long while providing good light for the object.

Made this generic black base that can be used with any of your favorite glass items. Nothing is glued on so you can change it for the season, party or the mood. Buried inside is a 4500 maH battery that will last many hours depending on the light level you choose by touching the Starfish "switch".

Thus, this can be a dining table centerpiece with a vase of flowers.

Or you can put this on a shelf and plug it into the wall with a standard wall 12v converter. $200

Bicycle Wheel Lights

Here are ordinary bicycle rims transfomed into pieces of wall art. The outer rim hides a thin strip of WHITE LEDS while an extra gear is added to the lit inner core for a more interesting radial pattern. Wiring to the inner core is not visible. Wheel is designed to be flat to the wall to equalize the pattern. $75-$100.​

Upper left are WHITE LEDs applied to a BMX wheel. Perfect for a youngster's room. Pattern is mesmerizing. Can be wired to a dimmer switch. $60

Upper right is the mounting on an extra gear to accent the inner spoke patters. This wheel also features a remote control that actuates a FOUR COLOR LED series as well as several action lightings. Light can be then set for any party mood. $100

Collaborative Story #1

After seeing the range of my creativity at the Lightheaded Exhibit in St Pete, I was asked to come up with a design for this Film Festival, incorporating "El Pulpo," i.e octopus. On the right is my first cut at a design. This lays out the elements that must be present. Below is the artwork that was given to me a further development of the Award. Finally, we have the finished Award. We found the perfectly size and color reel (and the case) for the movie theme. Also, the quartz crystal to lit from the rear by a circle of LEDS.

We met the challenge of lighting the originally conceived black el pulpo arms by changing the media to bead embroidery. This allows light to pass thru and gives true color to the arms. Thanks to Fran Locke for her talents in color highlights and creativity.

This piece above was done as a bathroom night light with a white LED over a chunk of rose quartz..

Remote controls allow the viewer to control various light levels and action levels to mimic the flashing lights of Broadway!

Asked to create El Pulpo II. Same overall theme ( film reel, crystal ) but a new variation using EL wiring instead of LEDs. Thanks to Fran's ( my wife) skill in beadweaving.

Rear:Film canister contains the circle of LEDs.

Wyland Sculpture.... After

Wyland Sculpture.... Before

Worked with the owners of this Wyland Acrylic Sculpture "The Mermaid and the Turtle" to make it even more beautiful.........in the evening. The client wanted an organic hardwood base, battery powered so it could sit in the middle of the coffee table and intensity controlled. Together, we selected the perfect hardwood with heart grain, added a 1942 3P English Coin from their collection as a touch intensity control, and fit a rechargeable battery into the base. Runs for hundreds of hours on low intensity ,and 40 hours on high.

Collaborative Story #3

Client wanted to donate a unique item for a fund raising auction at this exclusive school in Maryland, and so we worked on a design for this school's logo. I tried to use the standard model of leds and crystals but was not able to achieve an even light. After many tries and failures, I settled on using EL ( electro luminescense) technology. Newer than LED, this uses a thin sheet of phosphorus paper that is electrically excited to glow. I used a thin sheet of acrylic to hold the piece and provide insulation. The base contains the electronics and the support arm mimics the angle of the logo. Client was well pleased.

Glass Bowls

It's a Laugh

Had a friend come to me wanting a special way to light up her sea glass. After testing several different designs and styles of led lights, we settled on this fish bowl and a ring of battery operated leds. Ended up with a laughing gnome on a sea of blue. Battery good for about 40 hours.

... in A Sea of Glass​​

So I decided to add wiring and make this a plug-in model so it can be left on all the time and doesn't need a battery change. Here, we have a turtle carrying the lighted bowl on his back. Possibly ready for an accent piece. Item is placed on a black reflective surface. Can be made in an empty bowl and you can fill it with your own collection of sea glass. $60-$90
